Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology

The Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology is the leading institute of higher education of the Russian Federation, training highly-qualified specialist in various areas of modern science and technology.

- The Federal State Educational Institution of Higher Professional Education, "Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (State University)," was established by resolution of the USSR Council of Ministers on 17 September 1951 № 3517-1635 cc and by Order of the Minister of Higher Education of the USSR October 1, 1951 on the basis of the resolution established on November 25, 1946 by the Council of Ministers of the USSR of a physics and technology department at the Moscow State University as the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology.

- By Order of the State Committee of the Russian Federation dated November 2, 2009 № 1613-r with respect to the State Educational Institution of Higher Professional Education, the "Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (State University)" is categorized a "National Research University."

- By Order of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation dated 23 May 2011 № 1728, the State Educational Institution of Higher Professional Education, "Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (State University)," was renamed the Federal State Funded Educational Institution of Higher Professional Education "Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (State University)."

- The Federal State Autonomous Educational Institution of Higher Professional Education, "Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (State University)," was created by Order of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation from November 21, 2011 № 2735 by way of changing the type of existing Federal State Funded Educational Institution of Higher Professional Education "Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (State University)."

The institute has a rich history. Its founders and early staff members were Nobel Prize winners P.L Kapitsa, N.N Semenov, and L.D. Landau. Nobel Prize winners are among its graduates as well. Many Fiztech professors are leading scientists in Russia, among which are more than 80 academics and corresponding members of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

From the beginning, Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology has used a unique system for training specialists, known commonly as the “Fiztech System,” which combines fundamental education, engineering disciplines, and student scientific research.

With a history rich in significant events and longstanding traditions, the Institute pays deserved attention to its symbolism. The Phystech emblem is original and filled with physics ideas, representing its devotion to science.

The institute has an interesting emblem, filled with physics ideas.

Many are unaware of how the MIPT territory looks: it’s rather extensive and continues to expand to this day.

Every 5 years MIPT celebrates a double anniversary: on 25 November 1946 a decree was issued by the Council of Ministers of the USSR on the establishment of the Faculty of Physics and Technology (PTF) at the Moscow State University, and 5 years later the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology was created.

For many years now, people have been improving their tools, studying the forces of nature and bringing them under control, using the energy of the nature to operate their machines. Last century is noted for the creation of machines which can operate other machines. Nowadays the creation of devices that interact with the physical world is available to anyone. Our course consists of a series of practical problems on making things that work independently: they make their own decisions, act, move, communicate with each other and people around, and control other devices. We will demonstrate how to assemble such devices and programme them using the Arduino platform as a basis.

You will also learn how to react to negative feedback from reviewers and resubmit your proposal. The course focuses on useful project management tools and possible budget pitfalls.

The course develops technical writing skills necessary to communicate information gained through a process of technical or experimental work. The course highlights the factors that determine the degree of technicality of the language and concepts involved.

This course is designed to provide you with an understanding of the role of data and technology in human capital management. Every topic in the course will be covered in the most practical way so that learners get hands-on experience. In the course we use the 4Ts principle: Task, Theory, Technique and Technology so that there is always a connection to organizational performance objectives, an overview of underlying theories and principles, and specific tools which help achieve business objectives.

MOOCs – Massive Open Online Courses – enable students around the world to take university courses online. This guide, by the instructors of edX’s most successful MOOC in 2013-2014, Principles of Written English (based on both enrollments and rate of completion), advises current and future students how to get the most out of their online study, covering areas such as what types of courses are offered and who offers them, what resources students need, how to register, how to work effectively with other students, how to interact with professors and staff, and how to handle assignments. This second edition offers a new chapter on how to stay motivated. This book is suitable for both native and non-native speakers of English, and is applicable to MOOC classes on any subject (and indeed, for just about any type of online study).
